Tommy Nobis Center, a Marietta-based nonprofit that helps individuals with disabilities enter or return to employment, will host its 24th Annual Galaxy of Stars Luncheon Friday from 12 to 1:30 p.m. at the Georgia Aquarium.
Galaxy of Stars is Tommy Nobis Center’s premier annual fundraising event and awards ceremony honoring the incredible talents of people with disabilities and the community champions who help empower individuals on their journey to independence and success.
This year’s theme is “45 Years of Empowerment.” Tommy Nobis Center will look back at its rich history of serving the community and celebrate the thousands of people whose lives have been changed by their programs and services over the years.
“We look forward to a meaningful event commemorating an incredible four and half decades of empowering people with disabilities and their families,” said President & CEO Dave Ward.
Honorees include former Atlanta Falcons Coach Dan Reeves for Lifetime Achievement, Community Champion Jim Budzinski, Family Member Advocates Marlon and Libby Longacre, and Tommy Nobis Rising Star Clarence Wine.
There will be an online auction accompanying this event starting March 28. For more information, go to https://tommynobiscenter.org/galaxy-of-stars. Funds raised through the event and auction directly support programs and services for youth and adults with disabilities.
